HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 09a - Appeal for Grocery Outlet at 140 E. Live Oak Avenue DATE: September 15, 2020 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Jason Kruckeberg, Assistant City Manager/Development Services Director Lisa Flores, Planning & Community Development Administrator Prepared By: Christine Song, Associate Planner SUBJECT: APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION’S APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW THE SALE OF BEER, WINE, AND DISTILLED SPIRITS FOR OFF-SITE CONSUMPTION AND EXTENDED HOURS OF OPERATION WITH A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (“CEQA”) FOR GROCERY OUTLET AT 140 E. LIVE OAK AVENUE Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 7333 Upholding the Approval SUMMARY The Appellant, Attorney R. Bruce Tepper on behalf of the “Unincorporated Association of Residents”, is appealing the Planning Commission’s approval of Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 20-08. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to conditionally approve CUP 20-08 to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption along with extended hours of operation for a new grocery store (DBA: Grocery Outlet) within an existing commercial building located at 140 E. Live Oak Avenue. It is recommended that the City Council deny the appeal, uphold the Planning Commission’s decision, and adopt Resolution No. 7333. BACKGROUND The subject property is a 1.5 acre (66,912 square feet) lot developed with a one-story 14,490 square foot commercial building (see Figure 1). It was formally occupied by Walgreens pharmacy and drug store, which closed in December 2019. The property is located along E. Live Oak Avenue, between 2nd Avenue and Santa Anita Avenue, and has access from either E. Live Oak Avenue or Tyler Avenue. The project site is zoned Mixed Use, MU, with a General Plan Land Use Designation of Mixed Use. The property is surrounded by commercial uses to the north and west, a vacant commercially zoned property to the east, and single-family residences to the south in the unincorporated area of Los Angeles County (outside of Arcadia city limits). Resolution No. 7333 – Appeal of CUP 20-08 September 15, 2020 Page 2 of 10 In the MU Zone, a grocery store is permitted by right as a retail use. The previous business at this location, Walgreens, was also considered a retail use and was approved for a CUP to allow for the sale of beer and wine only—with a Type 20 license from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (“ABC”). However, when the business closed in 2019, Walgreens chose not to transfer their ABC license to the Applicant, Grocery Outlet. As a result, on May 20, 2020, Grocery Outlet, submitted an application for Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 20-08 to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption and extended hours of operation (for more than 16 hours per day) for a new grocery store within the existing 14,490 square foot commercial building on the subject property (“Project”). The proposed business hours are from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM, daily. On July 14, 2020, the CUP application was heard by the Planning Commission and unanimously approved, subject to the conditions of approval in the staff report (refer to Attachment No. 4). On July 24, 2020, R. Bruce Tepper, on behalf of the Unincorporated Association of Residents (“Appellant”), filed a timely appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision to approve CUP 20-08 (refer to Attachment No. 2). As the Appellant’s legal counsel, Mr. Tepper objects to the Planning Commission’s decision and states that the approval of CUP 20-08 improperly utilized a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). Mr. Tepper also states that the local residents who live near the project site would be negatively impacted by the Project and that further environmental review should be required, as discussed later in this staff report. Figure 1 – Project Site Resolution No. 7333 – Appeal of CUP 20-08 September 15, 2020 Page 3 of 10 DISCUSSION Grocery Outlet is a franchise chain of grocery stores that offers discounted groceries and name brand household products. The company has over 300 stores nationwide with nearest locations in San Gabriel, Rosemead, Duarte, and one new location in Arcadia at 165 E. Foothill Boulevard. The MU zoning designation of the subject property allows a retail use such as a grocery store by right, without a discretionary application process. In order to accommodate the grocery store on the subject property, minor interior tenant improvements are required to be consistent with Grocery Outlet’s typical store layout (see Figure 2). These improvements consist of the installation of walk-in refrigeration, wall racks and shelves, replacement of existing doors, and remodeling of unisex restrooms, which can all be approved by staff through the issuance of a building permit. Additionally, Grocery Outlet submitted a separate Site Plan and Design Review application for the installation of a new outdoor shopping cart corral. Walgreens did not have an outdoor shopping cart corral as it was not needed for their business. The application for the cart corral was submitted after the Planning Commission approved CUP 20-08 and has no bearing on the sale of alcohol since it is needed for the grocery store’s general operations. This application will be reviewed and approved administratively by staff and is not included in the Project that is being appealed to the City Council. Figure 2 – Sample Photo of a Grocery Outlet Store Alcohol Sales Section The Development Code states that any business selling alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption which is open for more than 16 hours per day (or between midnight and 6:00 AM), and is located less than 150 feet from residentially zoned property, is subject to a CUP. The purpose of the CUP is to ensure that the proposed alcohol sales is an Resolution No. 7333 – Appeal of CUP 20-08 September 15, 2020 Page 4 of 10 appropriate use for the property and is compatible with other uses in the surrounding neighborhood. In the appeal letter, Mr. Tepper states that the approval of CUP 20-08 fails to comply with CEQA requirements in the following ways (refer to the appeal letter under Attachment No. 2): 1. The Class 1 Categorical Exemption per Section 15301 of the CEQA guidelines was improperly granted for the proposed use. 2. The potential significant environmental impacts caused by the proposed use were not thoroughly evaluated and an Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) was not prepared. The Project is exempt from further environmental review under Section 15301 of the CEQA guidelines because it qualifies as a Class 1 project (refer to the Preliminary Exemption Assessment under Attachment No. 6). A Class 1 project consists of “the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.” In his letter, Mr. Tepper argues that, “the construction of a fully built-out grocery outlet” will cause impacts to the environment. Specifically, he asserts that, when considering the Project’s eligibility for a Class 1 exemption from CEQA review, the City must look at Grocery Outlet’s proposed alterations to the existing commercial building and the expansion of the existing use. First and foremost, it should be clarified that the building that Grocery Outlet will occupy is existing and no square footage addition to the building is proposed. Based on the language of the appeal letter, it seems that Mr. Tepper misinterpreted the scope of the Project as the construction of a new grocery store. Contrary to Mr. Tepper’s argument, the Project does not include a change of use, as the existing building is located in the MU Zone where retail uses, such as the previous Walgreens and the proposed Grocery Outlet, are permitted by right per Table 2-10 of Development Code Section 9102.05.020. The Project does not include an expansion in use and only requests permission to sell beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption and extended hours of operation under a Type 21 ABC license. Walgreens operated under an off-site Type 20 ABC license, which is different from Grocery Outlet only to the extent that Walgreens did not sell distilled spirits. Additionally, Walgreens operated from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM and Grocery Outlet proposes an additional five hours of operation, from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Also, the existing on-site parking spaces meet the current Code requirements and provide sufficient parking for the Project. As such, the Project is appropriately exempt as a Class 1 project under CEQA Guideline Section 15301, as it involves a negligible expansion of the former Walgreens’ retail use. It is further stated in the appeal that Grocery Outlet will “house significantly more employees at any given time” than Walgreens due to the extended hours of operation, Resolution No. 7333 – Appeal of CUP 20-08 September 15, 2020 Page 5 of 10 and this would result in environmental impacts that should be reviewed through an EIR. However, the appeal does not provide any evidence to support this claim. In addition, the hiring of employees who work at a grocery store that is permitted by right is outside the scope of the City’s consideration when evaluating a CUP application, and thus outside the scope of environmental review under CEQA. Mr. Tepper also contends that there is “an unusual saturation of alcohol licenses in this census tract.” ABC confirmed that the standard number of licenses allowed in this census tract is two, but there are currently four off-site licenses, not counting Grocery Outlet’s proposed license. One of the licenses is held by a business that is outside of Arcadia, so there are a total of three licenses in this part of the city, which constitutes an “over-concentration.” However, it is not unusual to have an over-concentration of ABC licenses in the commercial corridors of a city. In these common situations, the ABC requests a “finding of public convenience and necessity” be made by the jurisdiction. These findings have been made for many uses with alcohol sales in over-concentrated locations with no major impacts to the surrounding neighborhoods. Allowing the sale of alcohol for off-site consumption serves a public convenience and necessity and is in accordance with the City’s policies to attract new businesses to support the local economy. In terms of Mr. Tepper’s argument that an EIR should have been prepared for the Project, CEQA Guidelines Section 15002 states that an EIR should be prepared when the City finds “substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment.” Based on the evaluation of Walgreens’ previous business operation and Grocery Outlet’s proposed operating characteristics, the Project would not adversely impact the subject property or the surrounding neighborhood. Since the Project qualifies for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption, the preparation of an EIR is not required. FINDINGS Section 9107.09.050 of the Arcadia Municipal Code requires that for a Conditional Use Permit to be granted, it must be found that all of the following prerequisite conditions can be satisfied: 1. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan. Facts to Support This Finding: Approval of the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits in grocery stores is consistent with the Commercial Land Use Designation of the site and it will not adversely impact the Land Use and Community Design Element policies of the General Plan. The Commercial designation is intended to permit a wide range of commercial uses, which serve both neighborhood and citywide markets. The sale of alcohol and extended hours of operation for more than 16 hours (previously from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM), for an additional five hours up to 11:00 PM, will provide the general public with the convenience of accessing goods Resolution No. 7333 – Appeal of CUP 20-08 September 15, 2020 Page 6 of 10 and services typically found in close proximity to residential neighborhoods, and the proposed request will remain as an incidental use to the grocery store. Therefore, the grocery store along with the sale of alcohol and the extended hours of operation is consistent with the General Plan and the following policies: Land Use and Community Design Element • Policy LU-6.5: Where mixed use is permitted, promote commercial uses that are complementary to adjacent residential uses. • Policy LU-6.7: Encourage a balanced distribution of commercial development throughout the City, ensuring that neighborhoods and districts have adequate access to local-serving commercial uses. Another primary goal of the General Plan is to provide the necessary opportunities for the City to grow and thrive economically while preserving the quality and character of the single-family residential neighborhoods. Live Oak Avenue is a major commercial corridor in the city and the proposed request would benefit the City through increased revenue and employment opportunities. In addition, with the closing of other grocery stores in the southern portion of the City in the past number of years, residents have consistently requested that the City encourage full-service grocery locations be cited along Live Oak Avenue. Alcohol sales and convenient hours would be expected at such locations. 2. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zone, subject to the granting of a Conditional Use Permit, and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Development Code and the Municipal Code. Facts to Support This Finding: The subject property is zoned MU, Mixed Use, which allows for a variety of retail and commercial uses, including grocery stores, making it a use that is allowed by right in this Zone. Since the sale of the alcoholic beverages is incidental to the grocery store, and the previous business (Walgreens) also sold alcohol on this site, the proposed request will not change the characteristics of the area. As for the additional five hours of operation for more than 16 hours per day and until 11:00 PM, these hours are typical of supermarkets that provide ongoing services to the residents. Therefore, the proposed request complies with all the applicable provisions of the Development Code. 3. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity will be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity. Facts to Support This Finding: The sale of alcohol will be located within an existing commercial building and limited to one area of the market, in the southwest corner, adjacent to the checkout stations, which constitutes less than 5% of the total sales area of the market. The proposed sale of alcohol will not affect nor change the way the grocery store is operated. Selling alcohol will not change the operating characteristics of the grocery store and it will be compatible with other markets that Resolution No. 7333 – Appeal of CUP 20-08 September 15, 2020 Page 7 of 10 sell alcohol, such as Albertsons, which is located two blocks from this site, and the 7-Eleven just east of this site. If anything, the sale of alcohol would be a convenience for the shoppers by allowing them to purchase multiple goods in one location. This will not create any potential negative impacts since on-site consumption is not allowed and the limited area of alcohol products are located by the checkout stations to allow maximum staff supervision and regulation of alcohol sales. The previous business, Walgreens, operated from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The Applicant’s proposed business hours are from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM, daily, and thus proposes only a minor extension of five hours of operation. Additionally, the proposed business hours are the same as the nearby existing Albertsons store. The existing 7-Eleven, which is just east of this site, is open 24 hours. A grocery store with alcohol sales is a common commercial use found near residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors since it provides goods and services to the residents. Therefore, the proposal is compatible with the existing uses and future commercial and mixed-use development in the vicinity. 4. The site is physically suitable in terms of: a. Its design, location, shape, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use in order to accommodate the use, and all fences, landscaping, loading, parking, spaces, walls, yards, and other features required to adjust the use with the land and uses in the neighborhood; Facts to Support This Finding: The subject site is physically suitable to accommodate the proposed use because the sale of alcohol will take place inside the existing commercial building, as part of the grocery store use. There will be a designated area in the southwest corner of the store where the beer, wine, and distilled spirits will be displayed on open shelves. There will be no changes or impacts to fences, landscaping, loading, parking, spaces, walls, yards, and other features since the proposed use has the same requirements, including parking, as the previous use that occupied the building. The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed use. The Applicant submitted a separate Site Plan and Design Review application for the installation of an outdoor shopping cart corral, but this has no bearing on the sale of alcohol since it is needed for the grocery store’s general operations. This application will be reviewed and approved administratively by staff and is not included in the Project. b. Streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to accommodate public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical) access. Facts to Support This Finding: The property is located along E. Live Oak Avenue, between 2nd Avenue and Santa Anita Avenue and has access from either E. Live Oak Avenue or Tyler Avenue. Both streets are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the traffic generated by the proposed use and Resolution No. 7333 – Appeal of CUP 20-08 September 15, 2020 Page 8 of 10 emergency vehicles. Therefore, the proposed use will not impact these rights-of- way. c. Public protection services (e.g., fire protection, police protection, etc.). Facts to Support This Finding: The proposed use has been reviewed by the Arcadia Fire and Police Departments, who raised no concerns over this use by this new potential tenant. Further, no safety concerns were raised by the previous use when Walgreens sold alcohol at this location. d. The provision of utilities (e.g., potable water, schools, solid waste collection and disposal, storm drainage, wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal, etc.). Facts to Support This Finding: The subject property is already developed with an existing commercial building. There are adequate utilities to service this site and business, so the proposed use will not impact the existing infrastructure as the site is capable of handling this type of demand. Therefore, no impacts to the provision of utilities are anticipated. 5. The measure of site suitability shall be required to ensure that the type, density, and intensity of use being proposed will not adversely affect the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare, constitute a nuisance, or be materially injurious to the improvements, persons, property, or uses in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located. Facts to Support This Finding: As a commercial use, the proposed sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption with extended hours of operation is consistent with the zoning of this site. Allowing the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption will serve a “public convenience and necessity” and is in accordance with the City’s policies to attract new businesses to enhance the economic base. The Applicant will be required to comply with the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (“ABC”) regulations. ABC has determined that there is an over-concentration of licenses for this census tract since there are four businesses in the entire tract that have ABC licenses, while a standard total of two licenses are allowed. However, it is not unusual to have an over-concentration of ABC licenses in a commercial area of a city. In fact, the proposed sale of alcohol will improve the ability of this grocery store to compete with other nearby stores and will not result in an adverse impact to the neighboring businesses or properties; nor will it create a public nuisance. The Arcadia Police and Fire Departments have reviewed the application and did not have any concerns since there is no history of high criminal activity at this site due to the sale of alcohol. In reviewing the operation of the previous business, Walgreens, there was no indication that the sale of alcohol negatively impacted neighboring businesses or residences. Therefore, the proposed use will not adversely affect the public convenience, Resolution No. 7333 – Appeal of CUP 20-08 September 15, 2020 Page 9 of 10 health, interest, safety, or general welfare of adjacent uses in the vicinity and zone of the subject property. For the reasons stated in this report, it is recommended that the City Council uphold the decision of the Planning Commission to approve CUP 20-08 to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption and extended hours of operation for Grocery Outlet. This can be accomplished by adopting City Council Resolution No. 7333, which will replace the previously approved Planning Commission Resolution No. 2059. Resolution No. 7333 includes conditions of approval for the project. PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING On July 14, 2020, the Planning Commission considered CUP 20-08 at a public hearing. Prior to the start of the meeting, three e-mails in opposition to the Project were received on behalf of the “Unincorporated Association of Residents,” and these e-mails were read into the public record. In summary, all five Commissioners were in support of the project and felt that Grocery Outlet would provide an excellent reuse of the vacant commercial building. Commissioner Chan and Commissioner Thompson both thought the Project would be a good addition to the neighborhood and that it would provide more retail in an area of the City where it is needed. Commissioner Lin expressed some concern about the legitimacy of one of the e-mails in opposition to the Project, stating that he did not think the proposed use would have negative impacts on the neighborhood because Grocery Outlet’s ABC license would simply replace Walgreens’ previous ABC license and would not add an additional ABC license to the area. Vice Chair Wilander and Chair Lewis both spoke in support of the Project and found it to be an appropriate use for the property. For these reasons, the Planning Commission was unanimously in favor of the Project. Commissioner Thompson made a motion to approve the project, subject to the conditions of approval in the staff report. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Chan. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the Project – refer to Attachment Nos. 3 and 4 for the Planning Commission Minutes for the July 14, 2020, Meeting and Staff Report for the July 14, 2020, Planning Commission Meeting. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The proposed project qualifies as a Class 1 Exemption for Existing Facilities from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines as it concerns adding alcohol sales to an existing permitted use that previously sold off-site alcohol and so is considered a negligible or no expansion of the use. Refer to Attachment No. 6 for the Preliminary Exemption Assessment. Resolution No. 7333 – Appeal of CUP 20-08 September 15, 2020 Page 10 of 10 PUBLIC NOTICE/COMMENTS Public hearing notices for this item were mailed on September 3, 2020, to the property owners of those properties that are located within 300 feet of the subject property. Pursuant to the provisions of CEQA, the public hearing notice was published in the Arcadia Weekly on September 3, 2020. As of the date of this Staff Report, staff has not received any public comments. FISCAL IMPACT Any decision on the appeal would not have a significant fiscal impact. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 7333, upholding the Planning Commission’s approval of Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 20-08 with a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption and extended hours of operation for Grocery Outlet at 140 E.

Flores, Planning & Community Development Administrator By: Christine Song, Associate Planner SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2059 – APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. CUP 20-08 WITH A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) TO ALLOW THE SALE OF BEER, WINE, AND DISTILLED SPIRITS FOR OFF-SITE CONSUMPTION AND EXTENDED HOURS OF OPERATION FOR A NEW GROCERY STORE (DBA: GROCERY OUTLET) AT 140 E. LIVE OAK AVENUE Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 2059 SUMMARY The Applicant, Grocery Outlet, is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 20-08 to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption and extended hours of operation, for more than 16 hours per day for a new grocery store within an existing 14,490 square foot commercial building at 140 E. Live Oak Avenue. It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2059 (refer to Attachment No. 1) and find that the project is Categorically Exempt under CEQA and approve CUP 20-08, subject to the conditions listed in this staff report. BACKGROUND The subject property is a 1.5 acre (66,912 square feet) lot developed with a one-story, 14,490 square foot commercial building (see Figure 1). It was formally occupied by Walgreens, which closed in December 2019. The property is located along E. Live Oak Avenue, between 2nd Avenue and Santa Anita Avenue, and has access from either E. Live Oak Avenue or Tyler Avenue. The property shares a parking lot with the adjacent parcel to the east, which is developed with a drive-thru restaurant (Jack-in-the-Box). The project site is zoned Mixed Use, MU, with a General Plan Land Use Designation of Mixed Use - refer to Attachment No. 2 for an Aerial Photo with Zoning Information and Photos of the subject property. The property is surrounded by commercial uses to the north, west, Attachment No. 4 Resolution No. 2059 - CUP 20-08 140 E. Live Oak Avenue July 14, 2020 Page 2 of 9 N a vacant commercial zoned property to the east and adjacent to this property, and single family residences to the south in the unincorporated area of Los Angeles County (outside of Arcadia city limits). In 2005, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 05-15 to allow a new Walgreens pharmacy and drug store with a drive-thru pharmacy without the sale of alcohol. In January of 2015, Walgreens applied for an Amendment to their CUP to allow for the sale of beer and wine only – with a Type 20 license from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), which was approved by the Planning Commission. However, when the business closed in 2019 Walgreens chose not to transfer their ABC license to Grocery Outlet. As a result, the Grocery Outlet is applying for a new permit as they plan to takeover this space and convert it into a grocery store. PROPOSAL The Applicant, Grocery Outlet, is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits with a Type 21 (Off-Sale General) license from ABC and extended hours of operation, to operate for more than 16 hours per day for a new grocery store. The proposed business hours are from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., daily. The existing 14,490 square foot commercial building is currently vacant and was previously occupied by a Walgreens pharmacy and drugstore. Grocery Outlet is a franchise chain of grocery stores that offers discounted groceries and household products Figure 1 - Aerial of subject site Resolution No. 2059 - CUP 20-08 140 E. Live Oak Avenue July 14, 2020 Page 3 of 9 that are of name brands. The company has over 300 stores nationwide with nearest locations in San Gabriel, Rosemead, and Duarte. The project site will require minor tenant improvements to accommodate the grocery store use such as installation of walk-in refrigeration, wall racks and shelves, replacement of existing doors, remodeling of unisex restrooms, and construction of an outdoor shopping cart corral. New signage will be reviewed through a separate Design Review application, as noted in the conditions of approval. The proposed floor plan (refer to Attachment No. 3) shows the interior layout of the store with the alcohol section in the southwest corner, adjacent to the checkout stations. Grocery Outlet sells a wide variety of craft beers, wines, and distilled spirits which are typically displayed on open shelves at all their store locations (see Figure 2). ANALYSIS The Development Code states that any business selling alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption, which is open for more than 16 hours per day (or between midnight and 6:00 a.m.) and is located less than 150 feet from residentially zoned property is subject to a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The purpose of the CUP is to ensure that the proposed alcohol sales is an appropriate use for the property and is compatible with other uses in the surrounding neighborhood. The subject property shares a parking lot with the adjacent parcel to the east, which is developed with a drive-thru restaurant (Jack-in-the-Box). The existing on-site parking spaces meet the current Code requirements and provide sufficient parking for both commercial uses. The Applicant will occupy an existing building that was previously occupied by Walgreens, who was approved to sell beer and wine under a Type 20 ABC License. The sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption with extended hours of operation can be found at almost all conventional grocery stores and is not an unusual request. As a retail use, the proposed sale of alcohol is consistent with the MU zoning of this site. Allowing this use would not result in an adverse impact to the neighboring businesses or properties since all development standards will be met and on-site consumption will not be permitted. Allowing the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption will serve a “public convenience and necessity” and the Applicant will be required to comply with the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (“ABC”) regulations. With regards to public safety issues, the Fire Department, Police Figure 2 – Photo of a Grocery Outlet Store Alcohol Sales Section Resolution No. 2059 - CUP 20-08 140 E. Live Oak Avenue July 14, 2020 Page 4 of 9 Department, and Building Services have reviewed the CUP application and no objections or concerns were raised by any of the departments for the proposed use. FINDINGS Section 9107.09.050 of the Arcadia Municipal Code requires that for a Conditional Use Permit to be granted, it must be found that all of the following prerequisite conditions can be satisfied: 1. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan. Facts to Support This Finding: Approval of the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits in grocery stores is consistent with the Commercial Land Use Designation of the site and it will not adversely impact the objectives of the General Plan. The Commercial designation is intended to permit a wide range of commercial uses, which serve both neighborhood and citywide markets. The sale of alcohol and extended hours of operation for more than 16 hours, but up until 11:00 PM will provide the general public the goods and services typically found near residential neighborhoods, and the proposed request will remain as an incidental use to the grocery store. Therefore, the grocery store along with the sale of alcohol and the extended hours of operation is consistent with the General Plan and the following policy: Land Use and Community Design Element x Policy LU-6.5: Where mixed use is permitted, promote commercial uses that are complementary to adjacent residential uses. 2. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zone, subject to the granting of a Conditional Use Permit, and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Development Code and the Municipal Code. Facts to Support This Finding: The subject property is zoned MU, Mixed Use, which allows for a variety of retail and commercial uses, including a grocery store that is allowed by-right in this zone. Since the sale of the alcoholic beverages is incidental to the grocery store, and the previous business (Walgreens) also sold alcohol on this site, the proposed request will not change the characteristics of the area. As for the extended hours of operating for more than 16 hours per day and until 11:00 p.m., these hours are typical of supermarkets to provide ongoing services to the residents. Therefore, the proposed request complies with all the applicable provisions of the Development Code and Municipal Code. 3. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity will be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity. Facts to Support This Finding: The sale of alcohol will be located within an existing commercial building and limited to one area of the market. The proposed sale of Resolution No. 2059 - CUP 20-08 140 E. Live Oak Avenue July 14, 2020 Page 5 of 9 alcohol will not affect nor change the way a grocery store is operated. Selling alcohol will not change the operating characteristics of a grocery store and it will be compatible with other markets that sell alcohol such as Albertsons, which is located two blocks from this site, or the 7-Eleven just east of this site. If anything, this would be more of a convenience for the shoppers to purchase multiple goods in one location. This will not create any potential negative impacts since on-site consumption is not allowed. The Applicant’s proposed business hours are from 6:00 a.m. – 11:00 p.m., daily, which is the same as the nearby Albertsons store. The 7-Eleven which is just east of this site is open 24 hours. A grocery store with alcohol sales is a common commercial use found near residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors since it provides goods and services to the residents. Therefore, the proposal is compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity. 4. The site is physically suitable in terms of: a. Its design, location, shape, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use in order to accommodate the use, and all fences, landscaping, loading, parking, spaces, walls, yards, and other features required to adjust the use with the land and uses in the neighborhood; Facts to Support This Finding: The subject site is physically suitable to accommodate the proposed use because the sale of alcohol will take place inside the existing commercial building as part of the grocery store use. There will be a designated area in the southwest corner of the store where the beer, wine, and distilled spirits will be displayed on open shelves. There will be no changes or impacts to parking since the proposed use has the same parking requirement as the previous use that occupied the building. The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed use, as there will be no exterior changes to the existing building. b. Streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to accommodate public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical) access. Facts to Support This Finding: The property is located along E. Live Oak Avenue, between 2nd Avenue and Santa Anita Avenue and has access from either E. Live Oak Avenue or Tyler Avenue. Both streets are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the traffic generated by the proposed use and emergency vehicles. Therefore, the proposed use will not impact these rights-of- way. c. Public protection services (e.g., fire protection, police protection, etc.). Facts to Support This Finding: The proposed use has been reviewed by the Arcadia Fire and Police Departments and no safety concerns were raised from the previous use when Walgreens sold alcohols and under this new potential tenant. Resolution No. 2059 - CUP 20-08 140 E. Live Oak Avenue July 14, 2020 Page 6 of 9 d. The provision of utilities (e.g., potable water, schools, solid waste collection and disposal, storm drainage, wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal, etc.). Facts to Support This Finding: The subject property is developed with an existing commercial building. There are adequate utilities to service this site and business, so the proposed use will not impact the existing infrastructure as the site is capable of handling this type of demand. Therefore, no impacts to the provision of utilities are anticipated. 5. The measure of site suitability shall be required to ensure that the type, density, and intensity of use being proposed will not adversely affect the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare, constitute a nuisance, or be materially injurious to the improvements, persons, property, or uses in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located. Facts to Support This Finding: As a commercial use, the proposed sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption with extended hours of operation is consistent with the zoning of this site. Allowing the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption will serve a “public convenience and necessity” and is in accordance with the City’s policies to attract new businesses to enhance the economic base. It will improve the ability of this grocery store to compete with other nearby stores and will not result in an adverse impact to the neighboring businesses or properties; nor will it create a public nuisance. The Applicant will be required to comply with the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (“ABC”) regulations. In addition, the Arcadia Police and Fire Departments have reviewed the application and did not have any concerns. Therefore, the proposed use will not adversely affect the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare of adjacent uses in the vicinity and zone of the subject property. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS It has been determined that the project qualifies as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption per the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines for the use of an existing facility (refer to Attachment No. 4). PUBLIC NOTICE Public hearing notices for this item were mailed to the owners of those properties that are located within 300 feet of the subject property and published in Arcadia Weekly on July 2, 2020. As of July 9, 2020, staff has not received any comments or concerns from the public. Resolution No. 2059 - CUP 20-08 140 E.
